Synonyms: L-Ascorbic acid; Vitamin C; L-Threo-2, 3, 4, 5, 6-pentahydroxy-1-hexenoic acid-4-lactone essential part in animal metabolic processes, but which the Molecular Formula: C6H8O6 Molecular Weight: 176.12 Molecular structure:. CASE NO: 50-81-7Physical & Chemical Properties.: It is odorless or almost odorless. It has a pleasant, sharp acidic taste. It is freely soluble in water and sparingly soluble in ethanol. It is practically insoluble in ether and chloroform. Ascorbic acid has pKa values of 4.2 and 11.6. Ascorbic acid has a melting temperature of 190C with decomposition. A 5% solution in water has a pH of 2.2-2.5. In impure preparations and in many natural products the vitamin oxidizes on exposure to air and light. Ascorbic acid solution is rapidly oxidized in air and alkaline media. Ascorbic acid gradually darkens upon exposure to light; however slight coloration does not impair the therapeutic activity of ascorbic acid injection. Even in the absence of light, ascorbic acid is gradually degraded on exposure to a humid atmosphere, the decomposition being faster at higher temperatures. In concentrations greater than 100 mg/ml, ascorbic acid may undergo decomposition with the production of carbon dioxide.
